Can Ethics Provide Answers? by James Rachels (PDF)

Description

Esteemed moral philosopher James Rachels here collects fifteen essays, some classic and others extensively revised, on the nature and limits of moral reasoning. Rachels argues that, rather than simply expressing societal conventions, moral philosophy can subvert received opinion and replace it with something better. Combining a concern for ethical theory with a discussion of practical moral issues such as euthanasia, the rights of animals, privacy, and affirmative action. Can Ethics Provide Answers is an excellent collection for students, scholars, and anyone concerned with the degree to which our principles can guide our policies.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I love Prof. Rachels’ books. This one, like his others, is clear, compassionate and well-reasoned. It very articulately walks the reader through the development of ethical systems and application of such to decision making. I recommend this book to anyone interested in ethics.

⭐This is a great collection of some of Rachels’ best essays. They are clearly written and show someone engaged in moral philosophy at its best. I highly recommend them.Professor Rachels recently passed away from cancer (Sept. 6, 2003). Information about his life and work, and the eulogies given at his funeral, are avaiable here:[…]Professor Rachels was a great man; all who read his books and learned from him would surely agree. He is, and will be, missed.

⭐After much research on the issue of animal rights, I found Rachels book the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow! I would highly recommend this book for students studying or researching animal rights, Rachel picks out the key arguments and evaluates them most usefully.
